This medication may increase the risk of endometrial cancer in postmenopausal women; therefore, women with a uterus should take additional medications as directed by a physician. There is a risk of developing serious vascular diseases such as thrombosis during treatment. If there are risk factors, consultation with a doctor and careful monitoring are essential. If severe headaches or migraines develop suddenly or occur frequently, stop taking the medication and inform a doctor. If sudden vision disturbances or symptoms of thrombosis occur, stop taking the medication immediately. If liver dysfunction, jaundice, elevated blood pressure, or increased seizures occur, the medication must also be discontinued. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, or breastfeeding mothers should not take this medication. This drug should not be administered to patients with certain diseases or medical histories, especially those with thrombosis, endometrial cancer, breast cancer, or liver disease. Regular physical and gynecological exams should be conducted during treatment, and consistent examinations are needed to reduce the risk of breast and endometrial cancer. Long-term use may slightly increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer, making regular screenings important. This medication may affect liver function, so patients with liver disease should have periodic liver function tests. It may interact with other medications, so inform a doctor or pharmacist if taking any other drugs. Diabetic patients should be carefully monitored as blood sugar control may be affected. In case of overdose, symptoms may include breast tenderness, abdominal bloating, anxiety, and nausea, but these typically improve with dosage adjustment. This medication should be kept out of the reach of children and stored in its original container for safety.
